Holy shit
Thought you'd heard everything? Think again.
A couple of dozen former Lockheed-Martin employees have a suit against the company in California contending that their long-term exposure to hazardous chemicals on the job caused a variety of illnesses. Over the years, the cases have been consolidated as they worked their way through the courts. Last year the highest court in California agreed to hear the most recent appeal.
Turns out the case was dismissed late last year, but not for any of the reasons you might think. No, the problem is that a majority of the members of the California Supreme Court are shareholders in the companies that provided the various solvents and chemicals in question, and have recused themselves from participating in the case. So there's no one left to rule on the case.
I could make some snarky comment about the rhetoric of class warfare, but that would be a waste of time.
